Hi Gang,
The huge North Pacific High you see in the images above is still dominating the western pacific although its winds are too NNW today to reach the Bay Area.
But as the image below shows a massive storm system targeting Pacific Northwest will bump the NPH far from California as we approach the weekend.
Oh yea, you might ask why can't you see the North Pacific High in satellite imagery? The NPH is created by descending air that came from the ITCZ and as this air descends it compresses and heats which makes clouds unlikely to form anywhere near its center.

Mike, Thanks for the update on the unusual wind pattern. Here in southern Baja, La Ventana is enjoying an epic November. El Norte or not, 16 days in a row and counting. October was pretty light, but November is one to remember.
See you soon, we'll save some wind for ya. (Everyone driving Mx 1 starting tomorrow, drive safe and watch your rear-view mirror, the Baja 1000 starts at 6 am and sections of it are on the highway. Those flashing lights behind you may be a 1000 hp Trophy truck. )
